If video games were candy bars (BioShock 2)
Last year, we ran a feature where we turned popular videogames into chocolate bars. The comments on that feature were so choc-full of great ideas, we thought we'd revisit it and give them the same treatment. We've given each contributor a shout-out, so you can tell them how witty and clever you think they are.

Just as obsessive dog owners morph into strange likenesses of their canine friends, hardcore gamers become manifestations of their game collections. The genres we play reveal truths about our lifestyles - the way we dress, the friends we keep, and the music we listen to. Or... maybe it’s completely ridiculous to make sweeping generalisations based on dogs and videogame genres. Maybe. ...

The 7 worst ways to pad a game (PlayStation 3)
In even the best games, you're going to come across some filler. You know what we mean: some content that didn't need to be there, and didn't enhance the experience. These are levels, tasks, and areas added to the game specifically to make it last longer, and that add nothing to the experience save frustration. These segments can run the gamut from merely inconvenient or irritating, to absolutely infuriating. ...

Star Wars makes Heavy Rain better (Heavy Rain)
Your reaction to the opening hour of psycho-thriller Heavy Rain will put you firmly in one of two camps: it was either poignant and sentimental, or an onerous slog that couldn’t end soon enough. The only sure way we know to remedy such divisiveness is comedy. Case in point, the adding of lightsaber sound effects to an otherwise schmaltzy scene of father/son bonding. ...
